McCoy practicing in pads yesterday per Nakos

[BigOrangeTrain]

And we had “experts” on here saying there is a zero chance he would come back

If he can hit the ground running and play even close to his ability our D will improve. Having him and Hood helps our front seven immensely. Fingers crossed

Definitely will help us some on the back end, but I don’t think him coming back will help with our front 7 with getting gashed.
But I am hopeful he gets back to form, for his own personal well being. Prove why he was a potential All American.

I bet they are maybe looking at ramping him up for New Mexico State

That’s the date he needs to be back. He’s got several weeks to get back in game shape if he’s physically able to go. That would be the ideal team to knock the rust off .

 

[2EastTnVols]

I doubt he plays Saturday. If we lose I'd say there's no chance he plays this season

 

[m1al]

You said the the whole board. Maybe 10 posters will do what you say. Try thinking

The Squeaky Wheels will get the band back together...

I don't recall that. I recall some rumor (seemingly coming from AP) that his agent was trying to get him to hold out but it was never said that his camp entertained that possibility. I think his availability at the end of the year will probably depend on our postseason situation. I know on 247 both Patrick and Ryan have said the entire time he was doing everything he could to get back. Austin didn't say that either. I think fans sort of expect bad news. It never made sense to me that so many were convinced he wouldn't play based on all the available information.

Unrelated but topical: Callahan says he doesn't have to take contact in practice to play Saturday.

Redmond has been picked on for sure this year. There are times where his inexperience shines through but I hope he can continue to improve and be important for us moving forward

I haven't seen any improvement.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Yeah you're right. Noone here ever emotionally responds and talks out of their ass. Try harder

No one is not everyone, thus the exaggeration.

 

[superdave1984]

New Mexico State would be ideal. Lets him knock of some rust before going to Gainesville.

Please call Banks and let him know.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Just having him on the sideline in pads is like showing, but not opening, a can of whoopass.

 

[rocketskates]

Just gotta get through Saturday because I feel like he’s targeting Florida as a return game which would be massive.

McCoy practicing in pads yesterday per Nakos​

Great news but, hope he was wearing Maximum Protection Pads. Can't get hurt during practice!!

 

[05_never_again]

People he’s not practicing in pads for the first time in 10 months and playing Saturday.
Thats not how this works.

I don't think this is the first time he's practiced in pads this season.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Is he back?

 

[CAVPUT]

Gawd....just stop. He's rehabbing with an eye on the draft. Kid ain't gonna help us this year. Even if he comes back this week, he's going to be limited. To round into form would take...oh, I don't know...the REST OF THE SEASON? Geez. Accept reality. Think he's seeing what rushing back has done for Mateer? Youth or a subpar McCoy...the results are basically going to be the same. Toast city.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Is he back?

No

 

[mackievol]

So let me get this straight. One player returns and it means Banks isnt a moron, defensive players learn to tackle, defensive players dont quit on a play.

 

[Volpatine]

And thisnwhole board will turnon him the second he gets a PI

I for one will just be glad he was close enough to make contact with the receiver

 

[LWSVOL]

Careful on interpreting practice. He was at practice in pads but without contact yesterday. See if he had contact today.

Our other DB's haven't made any contact in like a month...

Rumor of a spat in the locker room between dbs but attempts to hit each other failed

Sounds about right. "mccoy is trash" incoming

 

[LWSVOL]

maybe they are all playing "hurt".

This x 100

He’s been going through drills in pads for a while.
